Minogue was a fraction late pressing the buzzer, within the five second limit, to save Grey who tweeted her disappointment about the segment not airing.

Grey said that Minogue was profusely apologetic for being slow on the buzzer.

"It was a really crazy experience and I don't particularly like the fact that what happened wasn't shown to the public," Grey said recently. "I don't care that I missed out but I think it was something that should have been shown."

The "failed save" segment would have lasted about 10 seconds but never made it to air because "we simply don't have the time", a Nine spokeswoman said.
